Ciara Blasts Into iTunes Top #20 With ‘I Bet’ / Hits #1 On R&B

Published: Thursday 12th Mar 2015 by Sam

The campaign for Ciara‘s ‘Jackie’ album has jumped off to a triumphant start.

Lead single ‘I Bet’ has been growing healthily on radio since debuting in January, yet a match was lit under the Harmony Samuels cut when its accompanying video premiered this week.

Put simply, ‘Bet’ is rocketing its way up the iTunes charts.

Details below…

As at writing, the song sits at #20 on the main US tally. Impressive in itself, it’s rendered even more so when considering that it sat outside the top 100 pre the video’s arrival.

Over on the R&B count, the mid-tempo has topped the tally:

Suffice to say, Ms. Harris is winning and is on course for a major boost on the Billboard Hot 100 next week!

    Well it’s Finally gonna be on Billboard Hot 100. It’s a great song. I guess she doesn’t care about album sales and chart positions because slow songs (Body Party) keep being her lead singles.

    • Faf March 12, 2015

      ^its sold 256k already

    • Hey now. March 12, 2015

      So you not gonna mention the success of Four Five Seconds? Platinum status

      • Badghal_intent March 12, 2015

        They Stan for talent boo…

    • Jay Jay March 12, 2015

      It already debut on the billboard hot 100. And a true artist shouldn’t care for sales or billboard positions. If you are in the business just solely caring about that instead of the Art! Then you have no business to be singer

  5. Blue Ivy Rod (fourfivesecondsofSeethin) March 12, 2015

    Congrats Ci, hopefully her song gets picked up by Empire. It would have been the perfect ending to last nights episode.

  6. Stephy. March 12, 2015

    SUCCESS FOR CIARA

  7. Badghal_intent March 12, 2015

    This is sooooo Amazing. And for those looking to count her out (As usual), realize that this is Ciara’s “Comeback” lead R&B single. Which BTW is a ballad w/NO features. We barely see such a thing in the top 100 alone. You may disagree w/ the sound, choice, and style of this single, but AT LEAST give credit. She deserves this. One of the few artists who actually put in effort to create art instead of just letting their team do all the work. Unlike many non-writing, non-performing singers!

    • Kandi March 12, 2015

      Exactly no collab its a ballad and its rnb that alone should be enough to give this woman her credit! Yes CiCi

    • Lake Erie March 12, 2015

      Yes!!! Tell these little f****. I SEES no LIES. Amen.

  9. Bang Bang March 12, 2015

      • IOWNTHEWORLD March 13, 2015

  22. P**** Juice March 12, 2015

    Her last album was actually good, hope the new one will be as good or better.

  23. #JACKIE March 12, 2015

  24. pat March 12, 2015

    • Monica stan March 12, 2015

      LMAO lies you tell

    • Molly March 12, 2015

      Thanks for being positive boo

  30. welp March 12, 2015

    Girl…She tops the R&B charts on itunes and people are acting like it’s the Top of the Hot100! How much are you people being paid to promote her? I bet is mediocre, the song and the video. S*** sounds just like Neva Eva and some of you are acting like this is some masterpiece …Best material in two years my a××!This won’t past the Top 50 mark,bookmark it!

    • ce March 12, 2015

      You better speak on it. I just sent a message to these fools on Twitter calling out their so called fair and unbiased reporting. Fair and unbaised my a***! Sam was deeming Four Five Seconds a FLOP literally on day two of it being surprised dropped and has barely reported a thing when it is clearly a EPIC smash with barely any promo and minimal airplay. It currently sits in the TOP 5 of the hOT 100.

      Why no reporting on that? Because SAM is clearly pressed and BIASED and hates RIH and Shades Mariah Carey to no end.

      If this was a MC single these girls would have been posting every Five Four seconds on it being a FLOP yet I BEt has been out for weeks and has yet to chart on any charting format that matters.

      in the words of NENE #GIRLBYE

  31. Molly March 12, 2015

    Im so happy this song is doing so well!! Thank you to everyone that has supported this song.

  32. ATL_BEYHIVE March 12, 2015

    No ones seething over this girl and her medicine accomplishments…next

    • ATL_BEYHIVE March 12, 2015

      Mediocre….stupid auto correct

  33. Mark111 March 12, 2015

    The song needed a video.

    • FutureCIARA March 12, 2015

      Just like FourFiveHeads needed a video, Grammy performance, payola and multiple social media links to promote and buy that flop ass song, Yet its still struggling for #1.
      Dont come in here with that shitt you bitter a** queen, Go play some Thotliyah music and light a damn candle…

      • Molly March 12, 2015

        Lmfao drag mark!!! Fuckkk him and Thotliyah

      • Mark111 March 12, 2015

        lol, all I said was that the song needed a video. Clearly people forgot about the song, hint that it only charted for a week at 97. FourFive was already #15 before the video and grammys. You’re jealous of Rihanna’s success, I’m sorry… for you. 🙂

  34. LB March 12, 2015

    Long overdue, slay Cici, happy for you even though I drag your annoying as$ fans. Hope you see the success you deserve this era.

    Goodluck

  35. Bey-Minaj March 12, 2015

    Lol no wonder the Paypals are mad, whenever someone mentions Queen B or Kim we all automatically think Beyonce and Kim Kardashian. The struggle for Li Kim’s relevancy, yet they in here hating.

  36. Red March 12, 2015

    Lmao congrats for her low standards I guess. Fingers crossed it wont freefall down the charts by next week.

  37. FutureCIARA March 12, 2015

    I searched and searched for all the negative comments dragging her, yet I cant find any on here. Im astonished that all of a sudden people like her again, and are praising her comeback.
    I quite miss the comments stating she was done, or the song was tired and wasnt a good enough first single, and it wont chart above #96 on Billboard……

    Congrats Ciara, Proving haters wrong yet again! With a unexpected literal “Single”, with no features! Its all you baby, And “I Bet” will continue to grow! I have faith in her effort and drive.

    Baby Future is the real MVP!!!

    • Mark111 March 12, 2015

      Claim down hooker, it’s not even the BB charts yet, lol. iTunes is updated on an hourly bases, this bore can drop any moment now.

      • Jay Jay March 12, 2015

        It’s currently 95 on billboard

      • FutureCIARA March 12, 2015

        LMFAO, Egg on her face!

      • Mark111 March 12, 2015

    • Lake Erie March 12, 2015

  38. Molly March 12, 2015

  40. Satsuki K. March 12, 2015

    That song was sooo slow give me something that doesn’t make me wanna snore Ciara

  41. Mark111 March 12, 2015

    The ZZzz Squad is digging a hole, like always.

    • FutureCIARA March 12, 2015

      Yup, The same hole where your faves casket is.

      • Mark111 March 12, 2015

        And right next to Ciara’s career.

  42. No favs, just here for the music March 12, 2015

    The video made me love the song 100x more. I still watch the video multiple times a day. With that being said, I’m ecstatic about the song’s success. Great job Ciara! I really hope it creeps even much higher on the charts.

  43. Keri Qween March 12, 2015

    Its already falling down the charts like I said, at #23 now

  44. BeyRihLiyah March 12, 2015

    im going to be positive today so congrats to her hopefully she can see some type of success this era

  45. Rihboy March 12, 2015

    I already knew this was apart of her plan. To try and climb the charts and reach the top 10. I will wait and see before giving any props. Of course she would reach 1 on the r&b. There is no opposition. The song will dwindle back the charts by the end of this week. When she reaches top 10 I’ll recant. When she performs this song with a1 vocals live; I’ll give her props. So far I still see lukewarm success. It’s definitely not a body party. Grilling five four seconds that has outdone I flop isn’t going to help your nerves. Just deal. I hope she has more firepower than this if she plans to convince anyone outside her fan base that she belongs on tour.

    • Lake Erie March 12, 2015

      Lol! If course she belongs on tour silly. She’s heavenly missed. I doubt she gives us out of breath performing or throwing up on the side or having nervous break downs like others. Lol. You dumb boy. 🙂

  46. african music lover March 12, 2015

    i loved the music video,but i am not that much into the song,but i am glad she is having success with the song,she deserves all of it and more, i love you ciara but you still owe me for not giving us the music videos of overdose and read my lips.

  47. Lake Erie March 12, 2015

    Wow! Like the homie @FutureCIARA it best. I barley see any hate. I also notice a lot of new profile names Ctfu. Hmmmmmmmm. Hopefully yal read between the lines. Either way, undercover or not. I’m feeling the Loooooooove!!! Go CiCi!!! Go CiCi!!! GO! GO!

    • Lake Erie March 12, 2015

      *said it best*

  48. hives scared of R8 March 12, 2015

    Congrats!! can the Z-squad focus on getting ci-error that gold certification instead of worrying about Rihanna and t*********.

  49. Blue Ivy Rod (fourfivesecondsofSeethin) March 12, 2015

    FuturesMistake isn’t your name a self drag now?

    • FutureCIARA March 12, 2015

      Is’nt your avi the self drag now, Since its apparent Reverend Al Sharpton displays better vocals in public than Thotanna!

  50. Danny bey March 12, 2015

    I need people to stop acting like they’re Hits Daily Double bc that’s how you set your favs up for failure. I’m extremely happy that Cinand this song are finally getting the recognition it deserves cuz the moment the song debuted I was all about it. BUT just don’t give her too much or too less. Meaning stop stressing so much about what “chart position” it has or what you think the album will do, go diamond or flop or whatever, cuz it’s not about that. It’s about the damn music. And for those getting so hyped about a #20 position on ITUNES, check yourself. Cuz Body Party slayed the charts and everybody pumped up the album and look where it ended and not her, but her fans made her look stupid. So just stop and revel in an artist giving great quality videos and music, the way it used to be, versus how many ppl bought the $1.29 single after the video and how many pre Orders she’ll get and so forth. That’s why this industry is so f***** up today. Ppl worried about the wrong thing.

  51. Rosie March 12, 2015

    Good for her. Hopefully Jackie can scan 200K.
    Death at some of the Z-Squad suddenly claiming “sales don’t matter/REAL artist!!1” though (Navi when FFS was released teas).

  52. Bosslady March 12, 2015

    CiCi kills this video I love it, and it made me like the song even more, I hope she does well

  53. RihHive March 12, 2015

    Before I read anyone’s opinion on the video I just wanted to say I loved it for how simple and fitting it is.

  54. martin miller March 12, 2015

    Congrats CiCi!!!

  55. Universal March 12, 2015

    damnnnnn i didnt know it could be so much hate and negativity over someone having success? why are people so into destroying a person versus congratulating them? To all the f***** up people…God loves you and so does Ciara

  56. SoFresh March 12, 2015

    Giver her props or Yall mofoz be like the flops Yall call and drop the f*** off this post!!!
